If you missed this, please check out our other events, and other ways to get involved with the community.

You can find our previous agenda here as well as more information below!

The EA NYC Annual Picnic: 10th Birthday Edition is a 150-person, one-day event to be held on May 13, 2023, from 11 am to 8 pm in Brooklyn. Based on our popular 2021 Picnic conference, the event will feature a full day of discussion, connection, food, and games!

We hope you’ll join us to catch up with friends, connect with new people, and discuss ideas while enjoying delicious vegan food and a beautiful garden space. The event will include thematic discussions, one-on-one meetings, cause area and occupational networking, and fun and games. Think of the event as an outdoor, one-day EA conference with no formal talks — just good conversations and relaxed fun.

Logistics

A full lunch and dinner will be provided from local vegan establishments. The picnic will also run rain or shine - we will have sufficient indoor space and tent coverage in the event of torrential rain. But weather permitting, the event will take place entirely outdoors (with the exception of indoor bathrooms) on the spacious garden grounds!

New to the community?

We expect the Picnic to be a good fit for people who are excited about the potential of putting EA principles into action through their donations, volunteering, or career plans. All community members, new or experienced, are welcome to apply. Don’t worry if you don’t know many (or any) other people in the community; we’ll have lots of social activities to help you settle in.

How to attend

You'll need to submit a short application form. We’ll approve applications on a rolling basis, after which you can purchase your ticket. The ticket cost covers both lunch and dinner. Capacity is limited, so make sure to apply soon!

We don’t want anyone to miss the event for financial reasons. If needed, you can request discounted/free tickets in the application form.

If you have further questions about the event, please feel free to reach out to us at events@effectivealtruism.nyc. We look forward to seeing you!
